inson and l we're in dangerous posi-
ton, liable to receive serious injury il
other officers had not come to our
assistance; have no animosity toward
these gentlemen; have never had occa-

Cross-examined-Have been on the
mounted police three or four months,
being previously on the regular force;
we stopped our horses that night makai
Of the gate, out of which the gentle
men we're coming; stopped our horses
to tell those people not to make noise;
they were shouting but not singing;
they were not conversing, but halloo-
ing, think first he I'd shouting when
about at the Palace gate, perhaps
further up Richards street; heard no
noise before that; Robinson was ahead
of me.
Recess was here taken, from "a m.
till 1880 p. m.

Cross-vxamination Of Officer Dias
resumed--I was five or six fathoms
ahead Of Robinson going up Richards
street; was the first to speak to de-
PENDANTS; Robinson went past the gate;
| stopped my horse before speaking to
them; | think 1t was my stopping and
speaking to the men that caused Rob
inson to stop: he may have thought
the noise came from somewhere else; /
did not turn my horses head to the
crowd, am positive Of that; / don't
know how many police are stationed
about Palace and Palace walk; | do
not know whether any we're stationed
there that night; know some were sta
toned there on previous nights; don't
know whether that is a regular beat, but
have =cen one there on occasions when
returning from my rounds; | rarely 30

suburbs; often 60 out King street, and
see a policeman near Kawaiahao
